you may want to insert it with a bullet and/or set it in italics so it's clear (always sign and date)

if you'd like to use an initial, use a link with label. Example:-- [[Main.WikiGuest][ZXQ]] - 07 Jun 2020

A good format for a new topic is "dissertation followed by discussion":

start with a brief, factual introduction, followed by double horizontal rules

let the discussion begin

When a discussion dies down and the page becomes static, if you're clear on your course, feel free to refactor mercilessly:

fearlessly edit down to capture the key points

reduce the noise without losing the facts or the flavor

if you merge or delete comments, group credit Contributors: at the end of the page

This is how Wiki content matures and grows in value over time.

For external site links, you can type URLs directly into the text - http://etcete.ra/... - it'll be clear to anyone where they're headed on click.

Foswiki is intended for world-wide use, and an internationally understood date format like 01 Sep 2020 or 2020-09-01 is preferred. It's clearer than the xx/xx/xx format, where a date like 9/1/01 can mean either Jan or Sep, depending on the local conventions of the readers. For months, use the first three letters: Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr,...

Check the source when you want to find out how something is formatted: click [View wiki text] on the toolbar.

To see earlier versions, click either on [History] (to see all previous versions of a topic) or click on the revision number you would like to see; the formatted revision version will be shown.

To see the source of a previous revision, click [More topic actions], then at View previous topic revision, enter the revision number, mark the in raw text format checkbox and click [View]. A bit of HTML experience can't hurt, but you'll soon see with TML how far that is from necessary.
